Commentator Dan Patrick puzzled by Patriots passing on DeAndre Hopkins
The world was buzzing after wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins chose the Tennessee Titans over the New England Patriots. Several analysts offered their takes, including Dan Patrick.
Patrick was a bit confused by the Patriots’ lack of pursuit of the five-time All-Pro receiver. Hopkins had a decent year last season, even with an injury and missing the first six games due to a suspension. He recorded 64 receptions for 717 yards and three touchdowns.
He had a stellar game against New England when the Arizona Cardinals met the Patriots in December. He tallied seven receptions on 11 targets for 79 yards. He was able to spread the field in the process, averaging 11.3 yards per reception.
